Mystery celebrity who fled Gwyneth Paltrow’s Hamptons home after suffering ‘catastrophic’ diarrhea is REVEALED – as insiders claim bowel issues were NOT caused by Ozempic

The mystery surrounding the unfortunate guest who lost control of his bowels in a bed at Gwyneth Paltrow’s Hamptons home has now been solved by insiders who have revealed the name of the person at the center of the scandal.

DailyMail.com can reveal that the perpetrator behind the horrific incident is socialite and celebrity supporter Derek Blasberg.

The Internet went into meltdown last week when a blind post in a popular gossip newsletter claimed that 51-year-old Goop founder Paltrow had been tasked with cleaning up “Ozempian-induced diarrhea” at someone’s home.

However, insiders claim that media personality Blasberg, 42 and once described as “one of the most connected men in show business,” conveniently blamed the popular weight-loss drug before reportedly fleeing the estate.

“It’s not Ozempic, he just told everyone,” the insider said, before revealing how the secret broke through the Hamptons set.

“Gwyneth told Oprah, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, and Larry David,” they continued.

“It’s shocking how many people know this story and how he managed to keep it out of The Post… probably through his best friend [socialite Dasha Zhukova] – whose mother recently married Rupert Murdoch.’

Blasberg is no stranger to hanging out with Paltrow at her five-bedroom Long Island home, where she also held her wedding to Brad Falchuk.

In 2022, the fashion maven posted a photo of herself and the actress celebrating her 50th birthday at the sprawling estate.

And it looks like someone tried to portray Blasberg as the ghost poop emoji four weeks ago, by posting two poop emojis, a toilet emoji, and a dynamite emoji on the Instagram post.

The speculation began last week when a blind item report was circulated via an email newsletter called Popb***h.

“Story goes that a recent guest of Gwynnie’s disastrously pooped his bed while staying there and subsequently fled back to the city before facing the consequences,” it reads.

The report revealed that the scandal had become “the Hamptons set’s favorite gossip story to text to each other,” and continued: “Ozempic-induced diarrhea is becoming a hot topic among hosts there — because so many of their guests are using it. So expect laundromats to be booked solid come July 4.”

Spokespeople for Blasberg and Paltrow did not respond to requests for comment.

Blasberg currently serves as head of fashion and beauty partnerships at YouTube and is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, and several international editions of Vogue.

Blasberg, who wrote Very Classy: Even More Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady, not only considers Paltrow a good friend, but also regularly spends time with the likes of Karlie Kloss, Sienna Miller, Kendall Jenner and Demi Moore.

Thanks to his influence and connections as a top fashion journalist, socialite and TV personality, his birthday parties often serve as a warm-up to the Met Gala for its A-list attendees.

His 42nd birthday party in April was attended by A-listers including Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson, Jake Gyllenhaal and Andy Cohen.

In 2022, his party was attended by Jeff Bezos, Hailey Bieber and Leonardo DiCaprio, among others.

Blasberg is also a senior associate at the Gagosian Gallery and has written for The New York Times, WSJ Magazine, Elle, Women’s Wear Daily, Glamour and The London Sunday Times over the course of his career.

According to the blind article, Ozempic’s popularity is causing problems among the rich and famous who vacation together in the Hamptons.

Ozempic, which is typically used to treat diabetes and help people lose weight quickly, has a common side effect that affects one in 10 users.

The active ingredient in semaglutide not only causes weight loss, but also causes gastrocolic reflexes, which can lead to explosive and uncontrollable diarrhea.

In recent months, a handful of celebrities have admitted to using Ozempic, including Oprah, Elon Musk, Sharon Osbourne, Chelsea Handler and Robbie Williams.

Comedian Amy Schumer also admitted to using the drug in 2022, but admitted she had to stop because of the side effects.

“I was one of those people who felt so sick,” she said.

Weight-loss drugs work by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone the body produces naturally that slows the passage of food through the stomach, making people feel less hungry.

It also alters appetite regulation in the brain, making users feel full despite eating less and not craving treats.

Clinical studies show that 30 percent of patients experience diarrhea when taking Wegovy, compared with 16 percent when taking a placebo, the drug’s researchers said. prescribing information.

According to the drug’s package insert, common side effects of Ozempic include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

Meanwhile, long-term side effects are also beginning to manifest.
